I’m working on Billing boats mini Oseberg
It looks good, as do all those other projects. What a fascinating photo!
HM Sloop Alert (1777) Vanguard Models
I finished the main deck this week.
I'm delighted with that. I've done new things. I made my own planks, fitted a margin plank or nibbing strake, and joggled the ends of the planks. I improved my micro-woodworking skills, considerably!
Perhaps best of all, the way the joint ends and angles of the extreme outboard planks line up athwartships suggests that I have managed to be consistent in the work. That's not something that I'm naturally good at, and something that I need to develop in modelling and life in general.
What an amazingly satisfying week that was. I've also made a few friends here on SoS which is even better than planking, if that's possible.
In my enthusiasm I even considered starting a build log but on reflection, I’ll wait until I open my next kit rather than begin in the middle of this one.

That looks great !
Excellent neat working. I love the livestock.
Nice cows.
I made a little progress on HM Sloop Alert (1777)
I was very pleased with the rudder platform. It's somewhat improvised but this build for me is for training purposes so I allow myself to experiment.
With the guns dry-fitted she's starting to look like a warship.
I won't post here again because I've abandoned my shyness and started a proper build log here.

Hello,
All of the yards other than the spritsail are hung, and ties, halyards, parrels, slings, etc... are complete for all. She really looks like a ship now ! Things are getting a little tight in there and I think I'm going to stop and add all of the rope coils I can before the deck becomes completely inaccessible
project started 15 months ago !

HM GRANADO 1756 - Galiote à bombes- JoTiKa/Caldercraft - 1:64
Gorgeous! She is very beautiful. One day, if I live long enough, I’ll build something like that
This model will fit extremely good to the section model of the Bonhomme you have built some years ago
Which scale does have this model?
BTW: very good work
Very good example of the Jotika Granado - Bravo - she is looking very good

That's a great looking model but boy, do I hate Millimeters.
